In one example, a head-mounted display (HMD) device includes multiple display panels arranged in parallel with each other. Each of the display panels is associated with one of multiple focal lengths. The HMD device includes multiple lenses to view a three-dimensional (3D) scene on the display panels. The HMD device also includes a controller to provide a frame of the 3D scene, viewable at the focal lengths. The frames include focal layers generated at one of the focal lengths. The frames are rendered by displaying the focal layers in a sequence on the display panels associated with the focal length at which the focal layer is generated. The controller also allows visible light to pass through one or more of the display panels based on whether the render planes are between an active focal layer and the lenses.

Head-mounted display device

An example apparatus for displaying stereo elemental images includes two coupled eyepieces. Each of the two eyepieces also includes a curved screen to display a number of elemental images. Each of the two eyepieces also includes a curved lens array concentrically displaced in front of the curved screen to magnify the elemental images. Each of the number of elemental images is magnified by a different lens in the curved lens array.

Head-mounted displays having curved lens arrays and generating elemental images for displaying

Systems, devices, and techniques related to thin form factor head mounted displays and near light field displays are discussed. Such devices may include a display to present elemental images, a primary lens array in an optical path between the display and a viewing zone of a user, the primary lens array to magnify elemental images to a viewing zone, and a secondary array of optical elements between the display and the primary lens array to concentrate elemental images from the display to the primary lens array.
